New York's official flag was adopted in 1901. It has a deep blue background, and pictures Liberty (symbolizes freedom) and Justice (symbolizes justice before the law). Liberty is holding a pole with a liberty cap, and has a discarded crown at her feet (which represents freedom from Britain after the Revolutionary War). Justice is blindfolded and is holding the scales of justice. A shield between them pictures the sun, hills, and two boats sailing on the Hudson River. Over the shield there is a globe and a bald eagle. Under them all is a white, flowing ribbon.

Capital: Albany

Nickname: Empire State

Motto: Excelsior (Ever upward)

Flower: Rose (1955)

New York was the 11th state in the USA; it was admitted in 1788.

Sean Perry Photographs
Perry's imagery is hallmarked by wrapping diverse subjects in his particular quality of light, releasing a simple expression of a given object's unexpected nature and grace. That voice is further refined by his dedication to the darkroom and alchemy used to breathe life and light into his prints.
